Answer

Direct Response

Solve the imbalance by setting a **"Finality Target"** for your wealth while having no limit on your peace. Recognize that wealth beyond a certain point has diminishing returns on happiness but increasing costs in Time, Emotional, and Relationship tolls. Use the **"Seven Dimensions"** to identify where you are "over-paying" for your next dollar and reallocate that energy back to your inner peace.

Detailed Explanation

Munawar's formula for internal equilibrium:

Practical Application

Conduct a "Peace Audit" every quarter. If your current level of wealth accumulation is costing you your sleep, your health, or your family's trust, you are paying a price that is too high. Simplify your investments, automate your income, and return to the Stoic center.

Expert Insight

"True wealth is the ability to fully experience life. If you are too busy accumulating 'numbers' to experience life, you are not wealthy—you are merely a high-performance worker."
